Animal of which there are many in the pound (5)

I believe the answer is:

ounce

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'animal of which there are many' is the first definition.
'ounce' can be an answer for 'animal' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'pound' is the second definition.

'in the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ounce that I've seen before include "On cue (anag.)" , "One-sixteenth of pound" , "Carnivore" , "16 for a pound" , "Jaguar" .)
